The women's floorball tournament at the 2025 World Games was women's floorball tournament at the World Games, held from 6 to 13 August 2025 as part of the 2025 World Games in Chengdu, China. [1] This marks the first time, a women's tournament was held since the floorball tournaments for the 2017 and 2022 World Games were only for men. [2]

Contents

Finland won the tournament after defeating Sweden in the final. It was the first time since the 2001 World Championships, where Finland also won, that Sweden did not win a major tournament. In the third-place match, Switzerland defeated the Czech Republic. [3]

As in the previous men's tournaments at World Games, team rosters were limited to 14 players. Matches were shortened to three 15-minute periods (instead of the standard 20 minutes). [4]

Qualification

Five European teams qualified for the women's tournament based on their results at the 2023 World Championships. The United States and Canada competed for qualification in a tournament held from 2 to 4 August 2024 in Fredericton, Canada. In addition, the top two teams from the Asia–Oceania qualification for the 2025 World Championships, held from 18 to 22 March 2025, advanced to the World Games. Thailand also qualified for the World Games through the World Championship qualification, although it had withdrawn from the championship itself. [5] [6] [7]
